C#

    string metricType = "compute.googleapis.com/instance/cpu/utilization")

    // Create client.
    MetricServiceClient metricServiceClient = MetricServiceClient.Create();

        Interval = new TimeInterval(),
        View = ListTimeSeriesRequest.Types.TimeSeriesView.Full,
    };
    // Create timestamp for current time formatted in seconds.

    Timestamp startTimeStamp = new Timestamp();
    // Set startTime to limit results to the last 20 minutes.

    // Make the request.
    PagedEnumerable<ListTimeSeriesResponse, TimeSeries> response =
        metricServiceClient.ListTimeSeries(request);
    // Iterate over all response items, lazily performing RPCs as required.
    foreach (TimeSeries item in response)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(JObject.Parse($"{item}").ToString());
